I'm looking out my window;

God is washing the world clean.

Soon God will make a rainbow,

The prettiest thing I have seen.


Whenever there is rain outside,

Our God is washing the sky.

I hear the thunder rumbling,

I see lightning go flashing by.

God is making a cleaner world,

Washing it down with his rain.

Soon God will be all finished with it,

And I'll play outside again.

I like the smell of jasmine;

I love to smell a rose.

Bees love the smell like I do;

Bzz! I see one--there it goes!

Imitate a bee with your index finger.  Have it zoom around your child's head in a circle.

Our God has made a good world;

He doeth all things well.

There are so many flowers

God made for us to smell!

God is giving our family a baby;

We can't wait to see its small face.

We have its small clothes all ready,

Soft and fuzzy with ribbons and lace.


For a very long time we've been waiting.

We don't know if it's a girl or a boy.

We can't wait to sit down and hold it

And put in its hand a small toy.


God is making a new little person,

It is inside my mommy right now.

Only God can make new little people,

Because nobody else knows how.


We keep thinking about our new baby;

We thank God for it every day.

What a precious new gift God is giving us

In the most special way.

Twinkling, twinkling across the great sky

Little bright stars shining way up high

Shining like diamonds but so far away

In black velvet night near where I kneel and pray

I pray to the God who has put the stars there

He made all the stars but He still hears my prayer

He's here in the morning when stars go away

He's here watching all that I do all the day.

Twinkling, twinkling across the great sky

Little bright stars shining way up high

Shining like diamonds but so far away

In black velvet night near where I kneel and pray

I pray to the God who has put the stars there

He made all the stars but He still hears my prayer

He's here in the morning when stars go away

He's here watching all that I do all the day.

Twinkling, twinkling across the great sky

Little bright stars shining way up high

Shining like diamonds but so far away

In black velvet night near where I kneel and pray

I pray to the God who has put the stars there

He made all the stars but He still hears my prayer

He's here in the morning when stars go away

He's here watching all that I do all the day.
